2 Claims. (01. goo-11o) This invention relates to sorting machines for operations in sensing, the reason for this being statistical cards and the like, and particularly that data punchings always lie in the to "IX" to auxiliary card-sensing mechanism for such positions of the card, whereas the control punchmachines. ings always lie in the )ClI" position.

The feed rolls 5 carry the cards seriatim into a sensing chamber 1 where a card stop I holds each card until it is sensed by a reciprocating pin box which is designated generally by the reierence numeral 0. After each card is the pin boxlrisesandcarrieswithitthecardstopl. This releases the card and allows the usual internal iced rollers (the top ones oi which are designated by the reierence numeral II in Fig. 12) to roll the card into a set oi power driven eject rolls l'l while the next succeeding card is being ied into the sensing chamber by the ieed rolls I. The eject rolls ii ieed the cards into the usual power driven conveyor mils II which carry the cards over the idler rollers I 3 to their respective pockets. Directly above each card pocket, is a card-gate is which liits, atthe proper instant, according to each card sensing, to deflect the cards into their proper pockets.

The machine, shown herein, has the usualinterpreter mechanism ll so that both forty-fivecolumn and ninety-column cards may be sorted withthe one machine. This interpreter or combination sensing arrangement is fully shown and described in the Patent No. 2,044,120 to W. W. Lasker, dated June 16, 1936. It is suiiicient, here, tosay that when a lever it is moved to one oi its .two positions, the machine will sort forty-fivecolumn cards and, when the lever it is moved to the other oi its positions, the machine will sort ninety-column cards.

Cards and cord sensing Figs. 8 and 9 show respectively a regular Powers iorty-ilve-column card and a ninety-column card. Each card is divided into twelve row-po- .10.,1 card showing the comhinatioml or 'onlysixareused.

Data is punched on theiorty-iive-column cards in the'ten row-positions 0 to 1x, inclusive. In the iorty-ilve-column cards. the I! and 211 positions are used as control positions and are never used to record data. In the ninety-column cards, the IV and XII positions are used as control positions and the remaining positions are md ior data punchings.

Both kinds oi cards are sensed by a single set oi twelve sensing pins 20, as is best seen in Fig. 1. All twelve pins are used to sense iorty-ilvecolumn cards but, in sensing ninety-column cards,

Generally speaking, the cardgates it are opened by the sensing pins 20 which. upon ilnding periorations in the cards. pass through the cards and operate Bowden wires 2! which Bowden wires pass through the interpreting mechanism II and, in turn, operate to displace one or another oi the six trip-cams 22- pivoted upon each timing disc 23. The displaced trip-cams will at the proper times, open their associated card-gates.

Group sorting One oi the uses 01' group sorting lies in large factories wherein a great employed at varied hourly rates oi pay. and wherein a large variety oi Jobsis done. Here, a time slip is made out for each workman on each Job he does. Thus, who has worked on three a certain pay period, will have three time slips.

Each time slip will show the workmans name or number, his hourly rate oi pay, the Job number, and the time consumed by him on that particular job, the hourly rate oi pay, oi course, ior any At the time slips are turned in department. A card is then slip, according to the data thereon and the cards are workmens numbers in the regular fashion. A master card is then inserted-in'iront oi each group oi workmen's cardsI These master-cards indicate an hourly rate oi pay and may be oi varied end oi a pay period, these to the bookkeeping 'colors for convenience. l lg. 7 shows, schematically, the cards and master-cards for seven workmen, T, U, V, W. X, Y, and Z, ready to be inserted in the sroup sorter. Here. it is seen that .workman T has an A hourly rate; workman U has a B hourly rate; workman V has the same rate as workman U; etc. The group sorter will now deposit all the cards oi workmen T and Y in one pocket; the cards oi workmen U and V in another pocket; the cards 01 workmen W and Z in a third pocket; and the cards oi workman x in a iourth pocket, thus bringing the cards oi all workmen having the same hourly pay into one particular sorter'pocket. In order to do this, it is necessary to sense only master-cards, and it is many workmen are sorted according to iurther necessary to hold open each particular pocket until all the detail cards, associated witha sensed master-card, have been deposited in the pocket to which the sensed master-card is sent.

For this purpose the ioliowing mechanism is employed.

Card-gate locking mechanism 35 supports and 9,105,415 able release lever "which engases a block 20 which block is carried'by a mainframe piece 21 of a card-gate locking device. In order to move the sensing pin-box s from onecolumnar position to another, it is necessary to first depress the release lever 2| and hold it depressed. when the lever 23 is depressed, it ensases the block 20, as is shown in Fig. 3, and, consequently, whenever the pin box s is moved, the card-gate looking device is moved with it. The locking device, therefore, is always in exact vertical alignment. with the pin box upon a pair of rails 28 and this device, in the present machine, takes the place of the usual Bowden wire terminal strip x, shown in Fig. 1.

this best seen in Figs. 2, 4, 5, and 6, block 26 has, fastened to its top, a bracket 2| which has an inverted U-shape and which is secured to the block 26 by screws 30. The purpose of the bracket 23 is to limit the upward movement of ,a set of twelve translator wires 31 which wires pass through suitable holes in the block 26 and are pressed upward by a set of springs '32. The translator wires II have broadened tops 33 which are limited by the bracket II. At their bottoms, the wires II are supported and guided in a pair of split retaining pieces 33A and these retaining pieces are fastened, by any suitable means, to the frame 21,

At its bottom, the frame 21 is divided and bent of! into a pair of steps 34 and to each step is fastened a translator-pin support bracket 35. The brackets 35 are generally U-shaped and each has one closed end, the open ends facing each other toward the center of the frame 21. Each bracket guides six latching pins 36 which pins, as is best shown in Fig. 4, have extrusions 31, thereon, for cooperation with a locking slide 38. The slide 33 is slidably mounted, at each end, in turned-over ends of the brackets 35 and is tensionedtoward the right in Fig. 4 by a spring 39. The spring 33 is anchored, at one end, to a stud 40 which is held by the locking slide 33 and is anchored at its other end to a small pin or stud II, which stud, as is best seen in Fig. 2, is fast in a square plate 42. I The-plate I2 is fastened to one of a pair of pin-guide blocks 43 which blocks are secured to the lower faces of the brackets 35. The blocks 43 guide and support the lower ends of the pins 36 and also act as retainers for the springs 32. Suitably fastened to the lower faces of the blocks 43, is a Bowden wire terminal strip 44' which strip aligns and maintains the Bowdenwires 2| directly under the pins 36.

To the rearward face of the plate 42 is pivoted a locking-slide disabling lever 45 which is limited in movement by a pair of studs 46 which studs are secured in the plate 42. The lever 45 carries, upon its left-hand end (right-hand in Fig. 2), a notch 41 which is adapted to actupon the pin 40 and move the slide 38 to its inactive position against the tension of the spring 39. The inactive position of the slide 38 is shown in Fig. 5 and the active position is shown in Figs. 2 and 4.

Returning to Fig. 3, it is seen that if, in sensing a card, a pin 2. enters a hole, it will depress a translator wire ii. If the disabling lever 45 (Fig. 2) is in its inactive position, then the depressed wire 31 will depress a corresponding pin .36 and the extrusion 31 (Fig. 4), thereon, will earn the slide 38 to the left (Fig. 4) and will pass downward to a position where it is below the earn points on the slide. The spring I! will thensnap the slide ll back to the right and thus lock the pin 3' depressed until another translator wire is in its depressed position. depresses the coreof a depressed on a'subseqilent sensing. The pin II,

respective Bowden wire-and thus opens a card.--

gate on the sorter.

From the foregoing, it is evident that, 'as long as the disabling lever ll remains in its inactive position and allows the slide II to remain active, the depression of any translator wire II will release all previously locked pins 3| and will allow the slide to lock depressed the particular pin II which the wire 3| is, at the moment, depressing.

Auxiliary sensing device Fig. 11 shows two groups of detail cards with their associated master cards and it will be noted that a field of onlyv three columns width is shown as a control field. In actual usage, it was found that these three particular columns were the only available control columns as,in most installations,

it was necessary to punch all the other fields with data punchings. It is evidentthat with the machine, as thus far described, it would be possible to "group sort groups of cards, whose mastercards were punched in the above three columns, by sensing only master-cards. However, it will be observed that, to do this, none of the detail cards canbe punched in the control columns. With the above arrangement, the sensing of a master-card would open and lock open a certain card-gate and, since the detail cards would all be unpunched in the control columns, the cardgate would remain open until another mastercard was sensed.

In certain uses of the group sorter, it was found that it was necessary to punch data on the detail cards in the control columns as well as the others and, in these instances, group sorting could not be accomplished with the machine as thus far described. To remedy this, an auxiliary sensing device was added. This device has only one sensing pin and this pin overlies the XII position in a card being sensed. Hence, as is seen in Fig. 10, the master-cards have a control hole in the XII position and the columnar position of the control hole is other than the columnar position of the regular sensing device. As the detail cards are never punched with data punchings in the X11 position, the auxiliary sensing device will find holes in the master cards only, thus allowing both master-cards and detail cards to be punched with data punchings in every field of the cards.

In Figs. 12, 13, 14, and 16, the auxiliary device is shown in top plan, rear elevation, left-hand elevation, and top plan respectively. As is seen particularly in Fig. 12 the reciprocating sensing head is almost identical to the standard head It is further evident that, if the disabling lever 45 to the end castings of the reciprocating sensing head so that the shaft 56 moves with the head at all times. The shaft 56 is rounded at each end where it engages the brackets 55. Loosely mounted upon the square shaft 66 is a bailshaped baiiie piece or looking ball 61 (Figs. 12 and 15) of substantial depth. As is particularly shown in Fig. 15,'this baflie-piece 61 is made with a slot 66 in its lower edge. Normally, the bafiiepiece 61 lies in such a position that the slot 66 lies directly above the pin 66 (Figs. 12 and 15) and does not engage it. At certain times, to be hereinafter set forth, the shaft 66 will be rocked to pull the 'slot 66 into locking engagement with the pin 63.

As is seen in Figs. 12 and 15, the'bame-piece 61 has fastened to its front side, asmall hub 69 which hub is mounted for sliding movement upon the shaft 66 and which is rotatable therewith. Fastened to the front face of the hub 69 is a larger hub 60. The hub 66 hasan annular groove 6i in its periphery and this groove constantly engages the right-hand frame plate 6A (Fig. 12) of the regular pin box 9. It is, thus, evident that, when the pin box 9 is slid along its rails 6i and 62, the hub 60 and the baffle-piece 61 are carried with it. Thus, the slot 68 in thebaflie-piece 61 is constantly aligned with the pin ing-pin locking ball 64.

As is seen from Figs. 12, 13, 14, and 16, the auxiliary sensing mechanism is mounted upon a frame plate 62. Fast upon each end of the frame plate 62, is an elongated hub 66 and it is because of these hubs, which are slidably mounted upon the rails 6| and 52, that the rails were lengthened in the present machine. At one end, the frame plate 62 is bent over into apair of cars 64 which are drilled to receive a special sensing pin 66. The upper ear 6 is further bent upward into a stop finger 66 the downward movement of the sensing pin 66 in relationto the frame plate 62. The sensing pin 66 is drilled in two places, 66 and 69, to receive a shouldered pin 61. These two drilled places or holes 66 and 69 are shown only in-Figs. l3 and 14 and their uses will be described later. The sensing pin 66 is cut out along its middle portion so as to form shoulders 10 thereon. Lyingin the cut-out portion between shoulders 16, is a short arm 1i in which is drilled a hole 12. This hole receives the lower end of a spring 16, the upper end being anchored to the pin 61. The short arm 1i is fastened to one side of a hub 14 (Figs. 14 and 15) which hub is riveted to or otherwise secured for rotation upon the frame plate 62. Fast to the other side of the hub 14 is a long arm 16. This arm or lever 16 has a forked end which engages a stud 16 which stud is fast in the free end of a rock lever 11 (Figs. 12 and 13). The rock lever 11 is slidably mounted upon the square shaft 66, but is of such construction that, whenever the lever "is rocked, the shaft 66 must rotate with it. As is seen in Figs. 12, 13, and 16, an upwardly extending arm 16 is rigidly secured to the frame plate 62 by a hub 16 so that the arm 16 slides with the frame plate 62, upon the rails 6| and 62 of the sensing head, but does'not rotate, in either direction, about its associated rail 6|. The arm 16 serves to support the rock-arm 11 by reason of the fact that a hub 66, on the arm 11, is shouldered and journaled, at one arm 16. I

The rock-arm 11 is constantly urged counterclockwise, as seen in Fig. 13, by the arm 16 through a spring 6 I, which is anchored, at its top,

to stud in an upright finger 62 of the frame-plate 62, and which spring is anchored, at its lower end,

to a pin 63 heldin the lever 16.

Figs. 12, 13, 14, and 16, show a locking plate 66 62 on the sensand this stop finger 66 limits end, in the supportslidably mounted upon the rear face of the frame is provided with three slots 66 (Fig. 13) which slots ride three shouldered studs 61, the studs being fast in the frame plate 62. A spring 66 is anchored, at one endto a stud in the locking plate 66 and is anchored, at its other end, to a stud l1 and the spring 66 tends, constantly to draw the locking plate 66 into the teeth of the rail 62. when it is desired to move the auxiliary sensing unit along the rails 6i and 62, the locking plate is manually held out of engagement with the teeth on rail 62, thus leaving the auxiliary sensing device free to be manually slid along the rails to any desired columnar position.

The main function of the auxiliary sensing device is to enable and disable the regular sensing device through the square shaft 66 (se particularly Fig. 12), the locking ball 61, and the pin 66, which controlthe locking ball 64.

The functioning of the regular sensing device is thoroughly described beginning on page 3, line 21, and ending on page 4, line 7, in Patent No. 1,476,161 to W. W. Lasker. It is suflicient here 'to vice, which ball is shown in its normal position in Fig. 12, is locked in that position, then all the regular sensing pins 26 will be disabled. If, however, the bail 64 is allowed freedom, then the sensing pins 26 will be allowed to function norm ly.

Machine operation In the normal position of the machine, the various parts of the. auxiliary sensing device lie as is shown in Fig. 13. The square shaft 66 lies in such aposition that the locking ball 61 (Figs. 12 and 15) is out of If, now, a master-card is sensed, the special sensing pin 66 (Fig. 13) will descend with the sensing head and enter a special (XII position) control hole in the card. This will leave all the parts of the auxiliary sensing device unmoved and, therefore, the locking ball 61 will remain inactive. Thus, the regular sensing device will sense the designation number punched in the data rows of the master-card and the master-card will be sent to its proper pocket. Also, the card-gate on this pocket will be locked open to receive subsequent detail-cards.

Assume that the master-card, just mentioned,v

is followed by flve detail cards and then another master-card. It is, then, necessary to disable the regular sensing device for five machine cycles or until the second master-card enters the sensing chamber. After the first detail-card enters the sensing chamber 8 (Fig. 13), the sensing head moves down carrying the two sensing devices with it. The special pin 66, finding tail-card, is moved upward in relation to the 16 is, thus, heavily tensioned and it'swings the arms 1| and 16 counseen in Fig. 13. This moves the rock-lever 11 clockwise, thus rocking the square shaft 66 movement of the shaft 66 causes the locking ball 61 (see Fig. 12) to engage and lock the pin 63 on the ball 64 of the regular sensing device, thus, disabling the regular sensing device. The detailcard will, therefore, enter the same pocket as its master-card. The following four detail-cards engagement with the pin 63.

no hole in the declockwise. The clockwise will also be sent to the same pocket. On the sev-.

enth sensing cycle, the second master-cardwill be sensed, as above, and, if its designation number(found in the data rows only) is the same as master-card and its associated detail-cards will be sent to the same pocket as the preceding master-card. If, however, the designation numher on the second master-card is different than that of the first master-card, 'then the slide 38 (see Fig. 4) will be cammed to the left by the depression of a new sensing-pin or pins and the previously locked wires 3| will be released. This will lock open a new card-gate as has previously been explained. 7

If it is desired to use the present machine as a straight sorter, the lever 45 is moved from its Fig. 4 position to its Fig. 5 position, thereby disabling the locking slide 3!. Also, the auxiliary sensing device is moved to its rearmost position on the rails 5i and 52 (Fig. 12). This brings the upright arm of an angle bracket 90 directly under the rock-arm 11 and locks the square shaft 56 in its normal position. The special sensing pin 65 (see particularly Figs. 13 and 14) is manually raised and the small pin 61 is removed from the hole 68 and inserted in the hole 69. Thus, the special pin 65 is locked in an inactive position and the machine will function as a straight sorter.

While I have described what I consider to be a highly desirable embodiment of my invention, it is obvious that many changes in form could be made without departing from the spirit of my invention, and I, therefore, do not limit myself to the exact form herein shown and described, nor to anything less than the whole of my invention as hereinbefore set forth, and as hereinafter claimed.
